A BLUNDERING news programme in Spain accidentally named former One Direction star Harry Styles as the father of new royal family member Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor - instead of Prince Harry.

Entertainment show Cuéntamelo Ya! presented a picture of new parents the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a day after the birth. Though Spaniards were quick to call the show out when it captioned the image: “Harry Styles y Meghan Markle”. The blunder ended up on Twitter, with one fan posting it with her own caption.

She said: “Aww Harry Styles and Megan [sic].”

She sarcastically put a heart at the end of her post, which has since gone viral.

The post did the rounds on social media as a result, with royalists sharing their hilarity of the mishap.

Embarrassingly, this also followed the botched birth announcement from Meghan and Harry’s PR team, who blamed technology for announcing the duchess was in labour eight-and-a-half hours after she had given birth.

Led by their new PR guru Sara Latham, many media outlets were left confused as to whether Meghan had gone into labour or whether the baby had been born on Monday afternoon.

She told the Daily Telegraph: “We sent emails which showed as sent at 1327, 1349, 1403.”
